All pastors have their favorite stories just for kids. Here are a few of mine.
Subject: The Lord's Supper
Object: Fast Food Restaurant "Happy Meal"
When our children were small, we would periodically take them by the local fast food restaurant for a burger or chicken fingers. With their "Happy Meal", they would receive a drink, a burger (or chicken), fries, and a toy of some sort. This was the "prize" that came along with the meal. When we receive the Lord's Supper, it too becomes a "Happy Meal", in that we receive a spiritual prize along with the bread and the cup. That prize is the gift of eternal life made possible through the sacrifice of God's Son, Jesus Christ, for our sins. What a wonderful prize. What a "Happy Meal" to celebrate together.
Many more coming soon. (No "kid"ding!)
